After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Watching the changing dishes being delivered to the Seventh Lady's table, Dong E Rongzhu sat up straight in silence, feeling a little unhappy.

She had been married for three years, but still hadn't shown any sign of pregnancy, and the imperial physician couldn't explain it.

Whenever they quarreled, the bastard Third Brother would always make a fuss about this matter, but she couldn't refute it.

When she thought of this, Rongzhu's anger burned fiercely and she rolled her eyes at Yinzhi.

The Third Prince naturally didn't understand how he had offended Rong Zhu, but he didn't want to lose to the other party in momentum. Seeing that the two were about to fight, the singing and dancing performance in the hall suddenly ended, leaving only the sound of everyone's whispered conversations.

Seeing this, Rongzhu had no choice but to shut her mouth, turn away and ignore him.

Yinzhi rubbed his pinched arm with a grimace, looking helpless.

How come other people's wives are gentle and obedient to their husbands, but he has to deal with a wife who is unreasonable, spoiled and has a bad temper?

"Your Majesty, we have discussed it. In previous years, there were only singing and dancing performances. This year, we have added a new program called "Shooting Sky Lanterns". However, this program requires the help of the princes."

Concubine Liang turned slightly to face Kangxi and spoke softly.

"This is new. Tell me about it."

Kangxi became interested when he heard this.

Concubine Liang stood up with a smile on her face and spoke on behalf of the four concubines.

"Shooting Sky Lanterns, as the name suggests, requires the princes to hold bows without arrows and shoot at the sky lanterns floating in the sky. Each arrow will be painted with a different color. If the arrow feathers pass through the lantern, they will leave a color. The prince who shoots the most will win."

"At the same time, each sky lantern has a different note written inside. These notes have different words and blessings. The princes can give them to whoever they want. This game can not only help the emperor check the princes' riding and archery homework, but also increase the affection between brothers. It is simply killing two birds with one stone."

"Interesting, I want to see if you brats are slacking off."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction and joked in a light-hearted and humorous tone.

"My Lady Liang, if I win this game, what reward will I get? If not, it's not very interesting. Your Majesty knows that my son will not do anything without benefits."

The Ninth Prince said this loudly, and everyone was amused by his remarks.

After hearing what the Ninth Prince said, Concubine Liang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile softly and said softly, "I wonder what the Emperor thinks is more appropriate?"

"Then let's use the bow I used when I first went to Mulan Paddock."

Kangxi thought carefully and came up with a very tempting object.

When the princes heard this, they were cheered up and replied one after another: "Since the emperor is willing to give up his love, we sons will definitely do our best."

Upon hearing that it was this kind of game, a look of resistance appeared on the Third Prince's face.

Among the six arts of a gentleman, archery is the one he is worst at. Why would it be this?

He looked up at his burly brothers.

Needless to say, the eldest brother is a real savage. Although the prince is not as strong as the eldest brother, his riding and archery skills were taught by the emperor's father, and he has always been among the best among his brothers.

Yinzhi looked at the fourth brother who was sitting next to him, leaned over to his ear, and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Fourth brother, we are similar in this respect. I have been neglecting practice recently and have regressed a bit. Please be tolerant of me later and don't let others see it, okay?"

Who is similar to you?

Yinzhen glanced at him, and distanced them further apart, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "My master is not in good health, Third Brother knows that, so please don't embarrass me."

The Third Prince wanted to say something else, but when he saw the Emperor walking towards the outdoor venue, he swallowed his words back.

Everyone moved to the outdoor area.

When no one was paying attention, Xiyu quietly pulled Yinzhen's sleeve and raised her head to look at him.

The light brown pupils flickered in the bright firelight, as if all the stars in the sky were crushed and scattered into it.

At the same time, she clenched her left fist tightly and put it against her chest, and used her lips to make a sound: "Come on!"

Seeing this, Yinzhen lowered his head slightly and looked at her intently.

The smoky pink cheongsam made her look even more delicate, and the bright light shining on her face made the fine layer of hair very obvious.

Like a pink and tender peach.

want to eat.

As Yinzhen thought about this, his eyes became even deeper and his Adam's apple rolled up and down uncontrollably.

Not daring to continue looking, he moved his gaze to the young lady's lips, carefully distinguishing what she said.

Love you?

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Putting her hand on her left chest and saying that she loves him, is the young lady expressing her feelings to him?

By expressing her feelings at this time, could it be that she wanted him to give her the note he took from the sky lantern?

Thinking of this, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth rose involuntarily, and then his long eyelashes drooped to hide the emotions in his eyes.

There were too many people around him, so he couldn't show his emotions too much.

The princes gathered in the middle of the venue. Many glowing sky lanterns were already floating in the sky.

"Please choose the color of the ribbon."

The young eunuch walked to the princes holding a tray. Yinzhen stood in the fourth position and looked at the young wife from a distance across the crowd.

"Fourth Master, please choose a color."

When it was his turn, the young eunuch reminded him.

Yinzhen withdrew his thoughts and looked down at the tray.

There are six colors on it, namely cyan, dark green, blue, smoky pink, purple, and black.

Fourth cousin will definitely choose green, because that is his favorite color.

Tong Jia Qingtang hid in the crowd and looked at him steadily, feeling very confident.

However, after a brief thought, Yinzhen raised his hand and picked up the pink smoke.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she didn't understand.

I haven't seen him for a long time. Could it be that my fourth cousin's preferences have changed so much? Can time really change a person so much?

She fell into deep thought, trying to dig out some fragments of her fourth cousin's past from the depths of her memory.

However, those memories were like broken mirrors that could not be pieced together completely. The harder she tried to recall them, the more blurred the images in her mind became. In the end, it seemed as if it had become a one-man show.

Yinzhen took the smoky pink ribbon in his hand, then tore it apart and wrapped it around his knuckles bit by bit.

Xiyu stood not far away and watched his movements. The scene of his fingers stirring the wind and rain flashed through her mind unconsciously. Her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and her eyes sparkled with a bright light.

She raised her hands to cover her face, trying to cool herself down with the coolness of her palms.

"There are a total of one hundred sky lanterns floating in the sky, and each person has ten arrows. Once all ten arrows are used up, the game is over."

The young eunuch announced the rules of the competition in a shrill voice, and then added: "If arrows of different colors hit the same sky lantern, they will both count."
